    $4 damages for man shot dead

    Why oh why am I supposed to feel sorry for yet another delinquent who resists arrest and get shot? Let's go through the chain of events leading up to his shooting: 1. loud music disturbs the neighbor - if he simply kept the volume at normal levels there would have been no call in the first...

    Dealing with the incel menace...

    That would tell you how to do it properly but not how to obtain it.

    Sexuality and gender ID - a discussion

    If marriage can easily end in divorce, imagine how well a non-married relationship does. Those break even faster and are generally unsuitable for raising children. Those take lifetime commitment. Being wiling to marry shows at least some intent of commitment and some optimism about the...

    Dealing with the incel menace...

    Not even remotely what was said, I'm just observing a pattern. Part of fixing incels would involve seeing what kind of men most women like and then changing those incels' personalities and improving their social skills based on those successful men. If we instead pretend to not see any patterns...

    Incorrect. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/family/children-and-young-people/child-maintenance/child-maintenance-where-to-start/ "If you split up, and you’re the parent who doesn’t have the main day-to-day care of the children, you may have to pay money to the person looking after the...

    I see you haven't changed and aren't honestly addressing my points, so I will cease to respond to you. Feel free to try again with a better reply.

    Dealing with the incel menace...

    So four years after the Elliot Rodger attack, we see another attack, this time in Canada, from another self-described "incel" which basically means people who can't get laid and are very angry about it. I believe there was also a lesser known incel murderer in the UK shortly after Rodger but I...

    Sexuality and gender ID - a discussion

    And here's the thing, you can in theory choose to simply not get married and just stay together your whole life. That would be sort of an unofficial marriage. Taking the official step just indicates some likelihood of commitment and makes you a bit more trustworthy that you won't leave. Because...

    Sexuality and gender ID - a discussion

    Wholly in the absence of any father you say? Ignoring that the government is constantly trying to pretend to fill that role. Yes, let's pretend to be strong and independent while being dependent on not just one man but on literally the entire part of the country that pays taxes. Basically on...

    Propagation of Religion

    Since the Spanish Inquisition was mentioned specifically, that's an institution founded by monarchs (rather than the Catholic Church directly) in 1478 and formally ended in 1834 and which applied to one country... ...and which the Catholic Church totally disavows today, not just paying lip...

    Propagation of Religion

    Human rights involve property rights. You put effort into transforming the world around you in a productive way, that's your effort, you should benefit from it. It's not the effort of someone else who happens to live a few miles away but did nothing. You don't like property rights? Okay, then...

    Propagation of Religion

    More specifically of jihad, warfare against non-believers to get them to convert or pay the jizya tax, see verses 9:5 and 9:29. The size and scope of this problem of forced conversions is not equal in every religion. Do not try to imply that this is a general religious problem. Judaism for...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    I argued no such thing. Please point out where I said believing Islam should be illegal. Some things blur the line between mere belief and action. Believing all manner of crazy things is one thing if you keep it to yourself. Telling others that your beliefs are good and should be put in...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    Right, take a step back, stop posting nonsense, think first. Where did I say Mexicans are criminals? The only thing even remotely close to it is that I said Mexico has a higher criminality rate than the US. It's absurd that you think communism doesn't rely on theft. It takes only ONE person...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    How about you stop lying about my position? I oppose illegal immigration and there's nothing "hostile" about telling foreigners to respect the borders of the US and migrate legally if they want to migrate at all. The Mexican government would not appreciate 11 million Americans all jumping the...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    You actually compared wanting Sharia law to wanting to place a statue of the 10 commandments on government land? No further comment, your honor. Why should I excuse ignorance even if this is the case? This is precisely the level of gullibility from a public that leads to totalitarian...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    Yes, I disagree with them and I don't think they acting in accordance with normative Christian theology. No, I meant simply that they're not acting in accordance with their doctrine. Inspiration and instigation are different things as well. GTA V for example can theoretically "inspire"...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    Stores and restaurants are similar to mosques in the sense that they're open to the wider public. The number of stores etc that the police enter is irrelevant. From 0 to all of them, doesn't make a difference. The rule is the same in each case. If they're lawfully inside the building they can...

    So the atheist "movement"...

    Denial as always. A slight recent increase in the number of KKK members is about as meaningful as a slight increase in a stock price that is on the decline in the long-term. The KKK is dying and you know it. Do you need to e-mail the manager of the mall before you go in and ask for permission...
